Bug#395457: not intended for etch
Package: xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting
Version: 1.6.5.git20061014-1~1
Severity: serious
This is a policy pseudobug to keep xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting
from entering testing/etch.
The i810 modesetting branch is a development version of the i810 intel
video driver. It is not particularly stable and is currently
undergoing a fair degree of major overhaul. It is therefore not
really appropriate to ship it with Debian stable (etch).
However, we do want it in unstable so that we can maximise the number
of people willing to try it out. A certain subset of users may in fact
prefer it over the standard driver, since it gives greater flexibility
over the modes the driver can use.
In the not too distant future (2007) the modesetting changes are
likely to be merged back into the main stable i810 driver, at which
point this package will become redundant.
